What are you so nervous about, Gray?

How am I supposed to feel, doctor? This

place gives me the creeps. You never

know who's lurking out here.

That's far enough. What's your business?

My name is Anton Ar. This is my

assistant, Graeme. We're here to pick up

a package.

Buy them crates

and keep your Mitch where I can see him.

You bring the dough?

As agreed, Mr.

Just give me the dough. Slow and

careful.

Very well. I was only trying to inject a

personal dynamic into the transaction.

It's all there. I can assure you.

The book, please.

What a blast.

The incredible secrets of photo.

I am a little curious to know why you

would sell something so valuable for

such a reasonable price when you could

quite conceivably keep it for yourself.

Because it's cursed that book by THE

DEVIL HIMSELF, GOOD WRITTENS to it.

Doctor, can we leave now, please?

Savor the sight. Graham,

this is the vehicle for my ultimate

triumph. Black Magic just like I saw the

voodoo priest Duchamp perform with my

very own eyes. A unique volume written

by a devote servant of Baron Samade

himself. I paid dearly for it.

How can one put a price on the ability

to cast spells on one's adversaries?

It's good. Very good.

Baron Samade,

Lord of all the underworld.

Master of all lower.

Discover your new servant.

Your powers are greater than all.

Heed what they may achieve.

If surrendered unto me.

Varon,

I celebrate you. I plead with you. Allow

me to serve you body and soul. Fill me

with your darkest magic.

Yes.

Marvelous.

I remember something I I have to do or

somebody

come to me. Help

me grow.

The swamp is my world. It is who I am.

It is what I am. I was once a man. I

know the evil men do.

Do not bring your evil here. I warn you.

Beware the wrath of

swamping.

You can't bury me. I'm alive.

I'm alive.

I'm alive.

It isn't like anything I've ever seen

before. His blood pressure is completely

off the chart.

You must have some ideas.

Only an observation. If Dr. Arcane's

heart continues beating at this rate, it

will burst.

Then, for God's sakes, give him

something. You got to knock him out now.

Come on.

I won't be held responsible for what

happens.

Take a good look. Nothing you do could

possibly make them any worse.

I'm sorry. I don't have more answers.

This is beyond any medicine I know.

There must be something else we can do.

There is.

Call a priest.

I am sure. I am a Ugo, a priest in black

magic. Why have you come here?

Dr. Arcane,

these messes are not strong enough

against you. I will use my powers to

bring you down.

Voodoo is very powerful.

Welcome.

I wonder if you can help me. I'm looking

for a man called Duchamp.

I do not know that man.

Come closer. Tell me about it.

I was told by someone he can be found

here.

And someone was wrong. I'm the only one

here.

Please come closer.

Let's stop playing games. I know for a

fact he lives in this town.

I cannot help you.

Maybe you should think it over, lady.

Tell me where I can find you, Shan, the

voodoo priest. Now,

you do not learn very quickly.

Why are you looking for DAW?

Because I need him.

He once worked for my employer, Dr.

Anton Arcane.

What if he did?

I don't have time to explain. Can you

take me to the shop?

I I I'll pay any amount. It's a matter

of life and death.

All of life is a matter of death. Why is

your need so special?

Dr. Arcane tried to perform a voodoo

ritual and something went wrong. Very

wrong. He's in a bad way.

The Lucha you seek is no longer living.

I am his son. I carry on for my father

as he carry on for his father before

him.

Then then you can help me.

Ah, the question is why would I?

Because Dr. Arcane's a great man.

Because he has something you want.

Arcane has nothing for me.

And a certain ancient manuscript of

voodoo ritual is of no interest.

My father once spoke of such a great

book with great knowledge.

Help Arcane.

And it's yours.

Voodoo is evil. Arcane.

It goes against nature

and it goes against me.

Very

bad juu.

Dark magic.

I knew it. I told him to be careful.

Arcane did not do this. He is cursed.

The lore who possesses him was called by

one of much voodoo power.

And somebody else did this.

A hogan priest of great power.

Can you help him? Perhaps

there is the matter of the manuscript.

You can look all you want, but you can't

touch till you agree to help him.

Where did Arcane get this

book of the month club? Do we have a

deal or not?

This manuscript is of no use to me.

The power and the magic have been

tainted by the possession of Arcane's

soul. The purity of Baron Somati's words

must be restored. Therefore,

Arcane will be free.

day.

Bulu

Ax is the law of war. We will call him

to join us.

Isn't there just some kind of herb you

can use as an antidote?

Arcane is cursed. Only a war of spirits

will free him.

You'll never drive him alive or you'll

kill him.

Are you sure you can do this?

I can only try.

A listen to me. You will not give

yourself to the evil Loha. YOU MUST LET

ME TRY THEM OUT.

Are you ready?

Voodoo is evil.

It goes against nature and it goes

against me.

Summer, are you all right?

There is much

dark magic present.

I believe

this night is one for the dying.

Such a kid will not survive.

You will die again, but not before you

suffer many lifetimes.

Dashamp,

there must be something else you can do

for him.

I I think not.

You can't give up. You hear me? You

can't.

Tell me this.

Why do you care so badly what happens to

Arcane?

I told you he's a great man.

No, you lied to me.

I am not. He is great.

He He's brilliant.

But that is not why you want him saved.

You have other motives and your lies

diminish my power.

I

I don't understand.

Lower Axum draws a strength from me and

those who would ask for help. There is

no strength in lies, my friend. Only

truth.

You must tell me why you care what

happens to Arcane.

All right. I care because my whole

livelihood's tied to him.

I mean, if anything happens to Dr. are

arcane.

I have nothing.

You see, I I call myself a scientist,

but

deep down, I know better.

I'm a mere technician.

Nothing more.

Anton Arcane is a scientist I always

wanted to be, but never could

and never will.

Your truth makes the circle complete, my

friend.

I can fight her now. The laughter you

heard.

There is only one Mambbo priestess with

such magic.

It is good of you to visit me.

It has been too long.

We have both been occupied with

important things, have we not?

Just one,

Dr. Arane.

You knew that already without seeing me.

Why do you come?

To hear from you why he is cursed.

I'm not bound to tell you anything.

But I not as one Hogan priest to

another, but as a brother to his sister.

You never met our mother's cousin in

Brazil. But we are very close. And one

day a terrible accident happened. Her

daughter, who is not yet 10 years old,

fell into the river and was taken by a

fast current. She would have been lost,

except for the brave one who saved her,

a young white boy from a work camp.

I've now learned of this boy, a slave

worker sent to the camp by Arcane.

He is called Jim Kip.

So what you do is revenge. What I do is

justice. Jim Kip brought justice to our

family. I owe him justice in return.

It was you who gave the ancient

manuscript to Dr. King.

That is how you open his soul to your

spare.

His greed and ambition will be his

undoing.

You have betrayed the secrets of someone

for your own selfish

and will have victory at any cost.

It is my duty to defeat you, Tand.

Don't be a fool. All paths are closed to

you. You have betrayed the secrets of

the law for your own selfishness.

And you sound very much like our father.

He taught me well.

Our father was in league with Arcane,

and that alone makes him an enemy to me.

The aroma of Arcane's blood is in the

air.

Do not let it taint you or you will be

destroyed with him.

It's all right, doctor. It's me, Graham.

Graham. Graham, I'm so afraid. There's

something so terrible inside me. I

couldn't imagine. Where's Duchamp?

He's working on a cure.

I know who's doing this to me. I know

it's Alec Holland and that rotten little

boy Jim Kip dresser's son.

I don't think so.

I thought I got rid of them, but I've

seen them. I've seen them both.

It's just the fever playing tricks. Damp

is closing in on us. Believe me.

Quit telling me better hurry.

I don't know how much time I've got

left.

Why have you come here?

To find you, L as my father promised

long ago. Do you remember Duchon?

I remember. He too was not welcome here.

He possessed great power as you do.

Lower. That is why I have come. There is

something that we need from each other.

You and I.

I need you to help me save Arane from a

voodoo spell.

I have no interest in helping Arcane.

Do you not wonder what it is that you

need from me? My father told me about

you. Because of Aki, you are doomed to

live your life in this swamp as a

non-man unless I use my magic to help

you.

Voodoo can do nothing for me.

You are wrong. And if you help me save

Arcane, I promise that I will once again

make you human.

Human.

Human.

You want to get him?

It's

turn.

I never

Huh?

Welcome back to the living arcane.

You're back, doctor.

Is it over?

You have won. The curse has left your

body.

I did everything for you, doctor. I got

Duchamp and and I was here for you,

holding your hand and mopping your brow.

And I and I traded the manuscript for

your life.

You what?

You at better rest now.

Absolutely.

We did not do it alone. Were not for my

law of the swamp.

Alec Holland helped you? more than you

know. Sir,

damn.

I'll think I owe him something.

I'm here.

As am I. Prepared to honor my promise to

you, to make you once again a man.

You need not have come, Duchon.

But why? I only offer you that which is

rightfully yours, that which was taken

from you. The answer is here. Hold it.

Even if your power could do as you say,

then I would be your creation, not gods.

As you wish.

But I wonder why you would help Arcane

only to refuse this.

Because dark magic distorts the balance

of this place, whether it destroys

Arcane or helps me.

I bow to you, Lora, as my father did.

Your power is much more than the nature

you control.

It is who you are.
